Why?

So nothing new then, why would 2025 see a change in this?

beats me.. i can only highlight why people would come.. but i can't tell the delta difference..
anyway koreans and japanese do like to come hk because they tend to earn much more here than back in japan/korea.. especially the financial sector chaps.. others fields, not so much.

Why?

I am just speculating.

For Japan, there is warming of relations between China and Japan in recent days. I wouldn't be surprised if some Japaneses were to be individually "invited" under QMAS.

For Korea, they got lots of tech talents and entertainment industry talents, whom Hong Kong can employ. Maybe, again just speculating, recent events in Korea may persuade them to come here.

They both possess the skills Hong Kong needs. Both countries have signed double taxation agreements with Hong Kong.

More importantly, they wouldn't be lonely, unlike some Top Talents.

There will be free democratic elections in China.

Hong Kong will become part of the the Mega Pearl Delta region with Macau.

All taxis in HK will allow electronic payments.

HK government will issue proper driving licences rather than laminating them.

Faxes will be phased out.

Coins will be phased out.

Bitcoin will replace HKD.

Who knows.

I'll have what @pin is drinking

So to escape a failed attempt at military law they move to a dictatorship?

earn more; pay less tax

South Korea got huge estate duties taxes as well

Yes that I can understand, it was the "recent events in Korea" that confused me
